Air Content of Soil Formula

Air Content = Volume Air Voids/Volume of Voids
a_c = V_a/V_void

What is Soil Void?

The voids in the soil mass represent the pores between the solid particles including the volume of water and the volume of air. Both volume of water and volume of air add up together and is said to be volume of void in the soil. The volume of air voids in cement paste, mortar, or concrete, exclusive of pore space in aggregate particles, usually expressed as a percentage of total volume of the mixture.
